Course Overview
The course is directed at measuring, modeling and assessing the parameters of environmental quality for the purpose of environmental risk assessment. The course introduces readers to the concept of environmental fate and transport and the methods to apply them in environmental risk assessment. The course also discusses the monitoring methods in the context of environmental fate and transport.
